Boogie Nights might have been his Deliverance from a dying career, but it also may prove to be The Longest Yard to emerging from a bankruptcy driven by $10 million of debt.

A collection of lawyers haggling over how much the actor's creditors will get paid are stuck on his marquee value.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Paul G. Hyman on Wednesday allowed the players to take a couple of weeks to finish up a plan that can be offered to Reynolds' creditors for a vote.

``I want this case to get resolved,'' Hyman told the lawyers in a West Palm Beach courtroom on Wednesday. ``I expect everything to be taken care of by then.''

Reynolds, who wasn't in the courtroom, is expected to be in Boca Raton on Friday. He and Sylvester Stallone are to be honored at the opening reception of the Palm Beach International Film Festival.

Reynolds' lawyers are projecting the actor will make $150,000 a month over the next two years, a chunk of which would go toward paying his debts. But that's not enough for his creditors.

``There's no explanation of what that's based upon,'' said Robert Gilbert, who represents creditors who have no collateral for their debt. ``We believe, in light of Mr. Reynolds' enhanced or renewed career, that number is too low.''

James Leshaw, who represents Reynolds, said the actor's financial advisor came up with the figures. Projecting future earnings is difficult, he said.

``He doesn't know what payments there will be 1 1/2, two years from now,'' Leshaw said.

The unsecured creditors represented by Gilbert include CBS Inc., several law firms and Reynolds' former hair stylist and travel agent. CBS, which was home to Evening Shade, claims $4.6 million.

Creditors with collateral include the Palm Beach and Martin county tax collectors, Merrill Lynch, Ford Motor Credit Co. and former production partner and investor William ``Buddy'' Killen.

Killen's lawyer asked in court Wednesday that an insurance policy on Reynolds' life be listed among the actor's assets.

Reynolds and his production company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on Dec. 2, 1996. It marked a low point for him that followed several other highly publicized problems.

Tabloids had a field day with his divorce from actress Loni Anderson, and then their custody fight over their son.

Anderson and Gilbert's clients are battling over whether she holds the second mortgage on Reynolds' BR Ranch in Jupiter Farms.

Hyman already has ordered the ranch be placed on the market. Reynolds retains the right to purchase the 160-acre spread for its $4.6 million appraised value. Leshaw said he has received offers, but he would not say how high they were.

Reynolds' financial difficulties started in late 1980s when an investment in the Po' Folks restaurant chain began to crumble, costing him $15 million. In the early 1990s, his film and television work waned and his income plunged.

As Reynolds' reorganization plan now stands, those owed by him personally would receive 24.5 percent of what they are owed and those owed by his production company would get 9 percent.
